Abstract:Klebsiella, a gram negative bacteria, can cause a variety of clinical syndromes in human beings. These include pneumonia, urinary tract infection, abdominal infection, surgical site infection, soft tissue infection and infections of intravascular devices. Middle-aged and elderly individuals with chronic debilitating diseases like diabetes, alcoholism, and immunocompromised persons are more susceptible to Klebsiella infections.
